Translator: 549690339
“Hehe, humans, die!” Frustrated by its unsuccessful sneak attack, the Golden Hou Beast no longer hid its identity. Its entire body shone with golden light, radiating an extraordinary aura. With howling that tore apart the heavens and the earth, its power was beyond imagination.
Lu Yun was shocked. As expected, the Golden Hou Beast was incredibly powerful, its strength due to its bloodline far exceeded the others of its rank.
As the beast launched itself forward, the earth cracked open beneath it. Its golden claws were as heavy as ten thousand pounds, and its astonishing demon energy caused the nearby demon beasts to tremble in fear before being blown away by the golden storm.
The ground was covered in flying dust, debris, and remains of crushed beasts as the golden whirlwind advanced towards Lu Yun.
“Celestial Dance!”
Deciding to use his strongest move, Lu Yun brandished his blade, unleashing Aura Origin. The atmosphere around him seemed to boil with Killing Intent as a sharp golden light burst forth, creating a terrifying tornado that counteracted the approaching golden whirlwind and redirected it towards the Golden Hou Beast.
After launching his powerful attack, Lu Yun swiftly executed the Three Thousand Thunder Movement. As if a bolt of purple lightning had appeared in the sky, Lu Yun vanished without a trace and reappeared by the Golden Hou Beast’s side the next moment.
As quick as lightning and as deadly as the sharpest sword, Lu Yun’s long blade attacked once more!
“Roar!”
The Golden Hou Beast roared, its entire body glowing with demon energy woven like a thick fog. A dazzling beam of light exploded above its head.
The blade’s impact felt like it had struck gold and stone, the force of the blow knocking Lu Yun back.
Whoosh!
Lu Yun’s body twisted, his long blade charged with an impressive thunderous aura and deadly Killing Intent as he attacked once more.
The Golden Hou Beast dodged by instantly altering its position, disappearing and reappearing at a distance before turning to watch Lu Yun with a solemn expression.
“I have a shred of the True Roar bloodline. When I go all out, my strength even surpasses the Fifth Realm peak. Yet, this human, while not yet at the Fifth Realm, can match me blow for blow without falling behind. How is this possible? Does he have some special bloodline too?” The Golden Hou Beast wondered, its eyes flickering with vibrant golden sword Qi that sent a shiver down anyone’s spine.
Lu Yun was also astonished by the creature’s power, but there was no time for thinking. With the situation in Great Wilderness Major City being critical, he had to slay the Golden Hou Beast to intimidate the other demon beasts and reignite the Black Tiger Army’s morale.
“Human, the more I fight you, the more I’m intrigued by your flesh!” The Golden Hou Beast’s eyes gleamed with greed as its golden claws stepped forward, powerful air pressure splitting the surroundings into four.
“You’re quite impressive too. On any other day, I might have considered taming you as a mount. But today, you’re out of luck. I’ll send you to hell!” Lu Yun said, baring his teeth.
“Seeking death!”
Angered, the Golden Hou Beast’s golden light shone even brighter. A series of golden Qi formations coalesced above its head and then transformed into nine colossal golden swords that soared towards Lu Yun in the sky.
“This isn’t simple at all!” Lu Yun dodged the swords with ease, like a drifting leaf avoiding the nine swords as endless Killing Intent erupted around him.
As the battle raged on, the sun set, and the rainbow in the sky gradually disappeared, casting a dim ambiance over the landscape.
Underneath the city walls, the roars of the battle echoed through the air, and the fierce confrontation sent the demon beasts fleeing in terror from the battlefield.
Lu Yun and the Golden Hou Beast had reached the limit of their respective ranks, their battle energy extremely formidable. Even Fourth Rank demon beasts could be severely injured or killed when caught in the crossfire, let alone the weaker ones that were obliterated effortlessly.
The Golden Hou Beast did not care for these weaker demon beasts, as their lives were inconsequential to its quest for defeating Lu Yun.
As the battle intensified, the creature became increasingly shocked by Lu Yun’s strength and desperately yearned for his fleshy body.
It believed devouring Lu Yun would grant it the power to break through the bottleneck and reach the Fifth Rank peak instantly.
The stronger the bloodline, the more power it gained after breaking through.
Upon reaching the Fifth Rank peak, it could even challenge a Sixth Rank opponent with ease.
With these thoughts swimming in its mind, excitement overtook the Golden Hou Beast. Letting out another long roar, its massive head agitated the golden waves of light, creating a sound like thunder and a surge of energy that sent tremors through the very earth.
This was the Divine Ability it inherited from the True Roar bloodline: the True Roar Skill. The powerful sonic waves it unleashed tore open the ground and summoned a massive storm that caused the surrounding rocks and demon corpses to be swept up, creating a terrifying scene.
Lu Yun fought with all his might as the battle reached a fever pitch, inadvertently causing the nearby demon beasts to be injured or killed as the fight raged on.
“Roar…”
The Golden Hou Beast’s True Roar Skill was incomprehensible, causing the very air to materialize and form endless ripples of golden waves. The tumultuous waves spanned across the sky, overwhelming even the demon beasts and Black Tiger Army on the city walls, who trembled at the sight. The demon beasts closer to the battle faced even worse consequences.
As the stronger beings, both cared little for the weak’s lives, especially in the world of demon beasts, where the law of the strong ruled supreme.
Towering over most demon beasts, the Golden Hou Beast’s form was truly captivating. Its robust build and golden claws exuded incredible might. With each swing, the winds and clouds swirled, and the earth shuddered. As its claws met Lu Yun’s long blade, golden light filled the sky, and the resounding clash echoed through the air..
